“An intriguing story, which is carefully and methodically investigated, while never becoming prurient. Added to that, the beautiful sound design and haunting music, which really conjures up the dark, forbidding Nordic landscape this is an all-round winner and I recommend listening on headphones.”

“What a great podcast. This unsolved case has puzzled locals for decades. To hear the whole case laid out and gone through and new leads.. just fascinating.”

“We mostly enjoyed this podcast but the pacing was a bit too slow and repetitive. Most annoying was the use of, at times, music much louder than the rest of the episode, and poor clarity on some of the dialogue due to so much ambient noise (real and added in). The story itself is good but could...”Read full review »

“Such a fascinating case, slowly and grippingly laid before the audience‘s ears. Inexplicably, outside of Norway the case of the Isdal Woman seems to be quite unknown. So many curious details, but somehow, every time it seems to all make sense, there‘s that one puzzle piece that doesn’t fit....”Read full review »

“Recording conversations outside with ambient sound does two unfortunate things: makes the conversation harder to understand (especially when listening to thick Norwegian accents) and draws one's attention away from the content, which is a genuinely fascinating mystery. On top of that, the...”Read full review »

“Amazing and very creepy, music does tend to add to it a lot. It makes you really hope that one day we will figure out the identity of the woman from the popularity of this podcast. One suggestion though - you have her DNA, please save yourself the need to look for a needle in a haystack and run...”Read full review »

“Nice podcast, interesting story which reminds me of another case of an unidentified alleged female spy found in a Norwegian hotel. However, as a German I gotta say that there are some questionable false information about German customs. For example, it is complete bs that the German health...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed the introduction to this long running enigma and the host’s thoughtfulness in looking at all the evidence/scenarios about who this woman was and what led to her lonely life/death. However it sometimes felt too much like a fishing expedition, tryin’d have an expert come on to the podcast...”Read full review »

The journalists humanise the Isdal woman & treat her story with respect rather than a dehumanised token of mystery. I...”Read full review »

Side note: where can I get an hour long loop of the theme music played at the end?? I think it would be amazing to play to sleep to!!!”

“This is an interesting topic, but terribly frustrating to listen to.
It feels really drawn out, and the sound design, while excellent, is over-utilised. On occasions, I felt as if I after hearing a sentence, or maybe two, there would be a dramatic swell in the soundtrack. On other occasions, the...”Read full review »

“Great story telling and engaging. I’m sorry to the people who want everything to have an ending but life, especially true crime, often doesn’t.
They really care about giving her name back to her and you should too!”

“Maybe if you are from Norway and can somehow relate you should listen to it.
Interviews with people that can recall every detail of random conversations in 1970 is not very credible. At the end there isn’t anything very revealing.”
